"NASA Celebrates 25 Years of the ISS: A Remarkable Milestone"

NASA celebrates the 25th anniversary of the International Space Station (ISS) by hosting a live conversation between the Expedition 70 crew and NASA officials. The ISS, which launched on November 25, 1998, has grown to the size of an American football field and has been continuously occupied for over 23 years. The crew described various experiments being conducted on the station, including studying the aging process and its impact on the human body. While NASA plans to operate the ISS until 2030, the agency is looking to transition its operations in low orbit to commercially owned and operated space programs in the future.
